It’s Official! The Glock 43 Single Stack 9mm Is Here!

TheFireArmBlog reports – For a long time now readers have been asking for a single stack Glock 9MM. Well the rumors have been flying especially so in the recent few weeks with the teaser ads from Glock and of course speculation by everyone in the shooting community.

The wait is over! I can officially tell the readers the Glock 43 single stack 9mm is a reality and will be available shortly. Make that soon enough you better check with your local gun store in a few days!

Several weeks ago myself and two other writers were invited to the Glock headquarters in Smyrna, Ga. for a tour of the factory and preview a new product. I’ll be covering the factory tour in a separate article.

After the factory tour we were taken to the main event at the Glock training facility. There we were each handed a compact Glock marked 43, 9MM! Each of the three of us were allowed to shoot as much as we wished and believe me it was a pleasant range session!

If you are familiar with the Glock 42 in .380 you’ll be familiar with the big brother in 9mm. The frame size is the same as the model 42 with the slide being 8mm longer than the 42. Magazine capacity is the same at 6+1 of 9mm.
